[DML] Re: door trouble...





This sounds like a really good plan, just had a look as a kind 
neighbour has locked me out of my car!
Is the auto tranmission plug on of the large multiplugs (red) with 
about 4 wires going in to it? one of these is green/white. or am I 
looking at the wrong plug?
Thanks
